Looks Like There Won’t Be Tales of Xillia Anime

zenical — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 15:54:58 +0000

Sorry folks, I know how hyped up all of us were over the announcement of the RPG game, Tales of Xillia, getting an anime conversation. That won’t be happening..

ANN has obtained the Viva Tales of Magazine and confirmed that it is not announcing an anime based on Namco Bandai Games’ Tales of Xillia game. Rather the issue talks about the recently released role-playing game for the PlayStation 3 console (as well as new animation footage that Production I.G is creating for January’s Tales of Innocence R game).

Well I guess we can only wait around for it to happen >_<.
